I would suggest that if you like the idea of Richard Ayoade interviewing Richard Ayoade (about half of the book) whilst taking celebrity introspection to absurd new levels, or - for example - you know who Terrence Malick is, and you are attracted to reading a series of highly unlikely tweets he sent whilst making the film 'The Tree of Life', then you should find much to enjoy here.

From 1995 to 1998, Ayoade studied law at St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where he won the Martin Steele Prize for play production [12] and was president of the amateur theatrical club Footlights.
